In this Easter message, Pastor Rick teaches from John 11 and explains what the resurrection of Jesus truly means. It’s not just about going to heaven when we die — it’s about how we live right now.
The resurrection gives us hope for today, not just for the future. Jesus came to bring life here and now, and the story of Lazarus helps us see what that looks like in real life.We are ONE Church, with ONE Message, and MANY Expressions.
